TX LPC Juris

No. The board's Professional Counselors menu lists "National Licensure Examinations" and "Jurisprudence Examination" as two separate pages, so they are distinct requirements. Plan for both if your application path requires both, and read each page separately rather than assuming one page's rules carry over to the other.

The board pages reviewed for this profile do not state an item count or a time limit, so this guide leaves both blank instead of guessing. Those specifics, when published, will appear on the board's Jurisprudence Examination page under the Professional Counselors menu - check there before you schedule.

No passing standard is published on the pages reviewed here, so none is reported. Third-party prep sites often quote figures that are out of date or simply invented. Treat the board's Jurisprudence Examination page, and any score report or notice the board sends you directly, as the only authoritative source.

Jurisprudence exams test the state law, board rules, and ethics standards that govern practice, but the board pages reviewed here publish no domain list or weights. The four areas shown on this study page are a placeholder supplied by the study platform, not an official blueprint, so use them for organizing review rather than for predicting content.

Read the underlying authorities in the order they build on each other: the licensing statute first, then the board's administrative rules, then the ethics standards, then the council's complaint and disciplinary process. Statutes define terms the rules rely on, and disciplinary procedure makes far more sense once you know what conduct the rules prohibit.

The board pages reviewed here state no retake policy, waiting period, or attempt limit, so this guide reports none. Retake terms are set by the board and can change, so confirm them on the Jurisprudence Examination page or with board staff before assuming a second attempt is available on your timeline.

No fee is published on the pages reviewed for this profile, so no amount is given here. Fees are set by the board and revised periodically. Verify the current charge on the board's Jurisprudence Examination or application page - never budget from a test-prep website's quoted figure.

Assuming it is a general counseling-knowledge test and skipping the administrative material. Jurisprudence exams reward precision about what the statute and rules actually say - definitions, required disclosures, reporting duties, and the complaint path - and penalize answers that feel clinically reasonable but are not what Texas law requires.

The Texas Behavioral Health Executive Council is at 1801 Congress Ave., Ste. 7.300, Austin, Texas 78701, telephone (512) 305-7700. For investigations and complaints, the council lists a 24-hour, toll-free system at (800) 821-3205. Note that visitors may drop off documents but are not permitted to meet staff without an appointment.

The council was created by the 86th Legislature in 2019 and consists of four member boards: marriage and family therapists, professional counselors, psychologists, and social workers. The LPC board licenses and regulates counselors and sets licensure qualifications and ethical practice standards, while the council handles shared administrative functions such as discipline and complaints.
